#149 101 Things Update No. 3

I’m half way through two blog posts but neither will be finished by the time Game of Thrones starts at 9pm, so instead I thought i’d show you an update from my 101 Things in 1001 Days. I’m getting on much better than I had realised. I kind of stopped actively doing this for a while when I was going through an awfully rough patch but now things have started to pick up again I thought i’d see how I was getting on.

I currently have 21 in progress and 14 are completed. Not bad when we’re only half way through the first year! I think I’m going to actively start making progress on the list again especially now i’ve started to get my act together on this life thing.
